MCE offers 6x Blu-ray burner for Mac Pro and Power Mac G5

MCE is at it again providing the wares that Apple simply won't. After offering up a 2x Blu-ray burner for the Mac Pro and Power Mac G5 last year, the company is keeping up with the industry by introducing a 6x variant for the very same machines. You'll also find compatibility with BD-RE (2x), DVD±R (16x), DVD±RW (6x - 8x), DVD±RW DL (4x), CD-R (40x) and CD-RW (24x). The drive itself is available as we speak for $499, while a bundle with Roxio Toast 9 Titanium goes for $599 and an external version runs $749.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:10PM

I think I can get an LG GGW-H20L for less from elsewhere.

Besides, with no HDCP capability, you can't even watch movies on this.

I've been looking at the Panasonic SW-5582.

As far as this model goes, 6x is a nice step up, but I am surprised at the lack of playback.
